How About a War on Hypocrisy?

So, we’re fighting a war on terrorism are we? Well, when will we be
seeing Noraid (Irish Northern Aid) on trial? Have all the funds that
Noraid uses to buy weapons and explosives for the IRA been
confiscated? Are the officers and workers of this terrorist finance
committee languishing amidst the rapists and murders in an American
prison? Why not? Are we fighting all terrorists, or just some
terrorists?

What about our "Allies"?

Afghanistan; Now in the hands of the "Northern Alliance," you know
them, they are the people we spent the ‘80's helping the Muhajadeen to
kill. The people we were sending the Taliban money to fight because
they grew opium. The remnants of the old communist government combined
with various warlords who think life under the old butchers was better
than life under the Taliban. Doesn’t it make you feel all warm and
fuzzy to know that your government has put the people responsible for
thirty years of civil war back in office? Of course they will behave
like nice democratic people now, right?

Pakistan; A nation which has been supporting terrorists in India’s
Kashmir region for decades and put the Taliban in power. Those
terrorists who have been rampaging through India, just look like the
same people that Pakistan’s been supporting that’s all.

China; Supported, and still support the madmen in North Korea. Invaded
and conquered Tibet, where it still occasionally massacres the
natives. Supported untold numbers of insurgents and terrorist
organizations in Africa, and still supports several communist killer-
republics in Africa, Zimbabwe being one. Supports terrorists in Nepal
who like to set villages on fire and shoot the fleeing peasants.
Constantly threatens, and occasionally attacks Taiwan. Hell, they even
threatened to nuke L.A. (Ok, so maybe they aren’t ALL bad).

Britain; The nation that invented the Concentration Camp (2nd Boer
War). Killed more Irishmen than the potato famine. Butchered Scots
like sheep, when they weren’t too busy raping the women. Conquered a
significant chunk of the planet, slaughtering God knows how many
people along the way. Imported opium to China to destabilize the
government. Started two World Wars (one by doing too much, the other
by doing too little). Helped hand eastern Europe over to the Soviet
Union. Handed Rhodesia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, etc.
over to various communists. Not to mention having started both the
whole Israeli/Palestinian mess, as well as the India/Pakistan thing
through their ineptitude. Currently they provide money, training, and
arms to third-world bandits the world around, when they aren’t too
busy selling their own country to the Socialists in Brussels.

France; I hesitate to include France as they tend to support Saddam
Hussain and Muammer Gaddafi more then they do George Bush (either
one), but what do you expect from a country that would make Charles De
Gaulle president rather then standing the treasonous SOB against a
wall? Don’t forget, these are the people who let the likes of the ETA
and ‘Carlos the Jackal’ wander freely, provided they didn’t kill
anybody in France. They also blew-up the ‘Rainbow Warrior’ (which
shows that they aren’t all bad either).

Germany; Ok stop, stop laughing, we’ll just move on.

Saudi Arabia; Yeah right, a country that lets the cops beat better
than a dozen schoolgirls back into a burning building because they
forgot their head-scarves, please. We won’t mention where Osama Bin-
Laudin is from, nor where umpteen million dollars of his money are at.
I will refrain from mentioning where the PLO got fifty-years worth of
money, guns, and political support from as well. If you think things
have changed since September 11, I suggest you search the net, I don’t
think you’ll find much to encourage your view.

Russia; RUSSIA? You mean the country that armed, trained, and supplied
90% of ALL the terrorists on the planet, that Russia? What did you
say? That was the USSR, not the Russian Federation? Well, then tell
me, how many of the people who ran the USSR have been tried for
‘Crimes against Humanity’? Who is in jail for disguising explosives as
toys to kill Afghan children? When was the trial for chemical weapons
use in Afghanistan? What portion of the population of the Gulag
Archipelago is made up of people who used to run the USSR? Come on,
the people who crushed the ‘Prague Spring’, starved millions of
Ukrainians, invaded Afghanistan, created modern terrorism, killed,
intimidated, raped and tortured millions of people at home and abroad
must be in jail somewhere, right? Right?

Well skip it. We’ll just stick to the post-Soviet crimes. Like the
invasion of Georgia, where they overthrew a democratically elected
government, in order to install EX-Soviet mouthpiece Eduard
Shevardnadze. Or maybe you prefer the udder barbarity of the war in
Chechnya? Don’t forget, this is a country so broke, so awash in debt
that they are only fielding one new ICBM (SS-27 TOPAL-M), one new SSMB
(SS-X-28), one new ballistic missile submarine class (Borey class),
and one new Cruse-Missile (unknown). Not to mention new tanks, planes,
helicopters, artillery, and ships. Of course they would never point
them at us, right?

To swerve back to the main point, if Russia is so willing to
cooperate, why don’t they just hand over the dossiers of the thousands
of terrorists they trained from the 1950's to the present? Why don’t
they tell us where all the terrorist training camps are? How about
they send over all the people who ran the camps, and handled the
terrorists back in the day? I hear that one guy who worked in the KGB
office in Germany knows all about the terrorist networks in Europe, a
guy named Vladimir Putin, but they probably can’t find him, right?

The point of all this is that we are not fighting a war on terrorism.
All this antiterrorism nonsense is a smokescreen for the real agenda
of intimidating or eliminating those who do not support the (yes, you
knew it was coming) New World Order. Our illustrious Fuhrer ... Oops,
I mean president, is working day and night to crush the untermenshen
... Doh, I mean the terrorists, who refuse to understand that the
Reich ... Damn, the United Nations ... Shoot, the United STATES, will
achieve world peace if it has to kill somebody.

If we really cared about terrorists, we wouldn’t be blowing up stone
hovels in Afghanistan (and just coincidentally paving the way for an
oil pipeline from the Caspian Sea). We would be cutting off the flow
of money and technology to states that really support terrorism, like
China and Russia. We would be sending Delta Force and SEAL Team 6, or
freelance counter-terrorists (like the once well-known Gayle Rivers),
to grease the Osama Bin-Laudin’s of the world. We would be putting
outfits like Noraid out of business, sending ‘Diplomats’ from places
like Libya and Syria packing, and clapping known spies, like Cuba’s UN
mission, in irons. Instead you and I get to watch American boys coming
home in body-bags and listening to politicians tell us how a national
ID and more victim-disarmament will save us from backpack nuclear
weapon and Smallpox. Assuming Bill Bennett and his "Americans for
Victory Over Terrorism" volunteers, or the Federal Alphabet Ninjas,
don’t knock down our doors for daring to dissent. Wait, is that
someone at the doo...

The State vs. The People, by Claire Wolfe and Aaron Zelman

Is America becoming a police state? Friends of liberty need to know.

Some say the U.S. is already a police state. Others watch the news
for signs that their country is about to cross an indefinable line. Since
September 11, 2001, the question has become more urgent. When do roving
wiretaps, random checkpoints, mysterious "detentions," and military tribunals
cross over from being emergency measures to being the tools of a government
permanently and irrevocably out of control?

The State vs. the People examines these crucial issues. But first,
it answers this fundamental question: "What is a police state?"
